Inflammation - some natural solutions

​Last week we looked at some chronic conditions that have an inflammatory component and what we could be doing that might be causing or adding to the inflammation, so logically if we remove or reduce those things we can decrease the inflammation.
 
This week let’s look at what can we do to actively help reduce inflammation?
 
There are a number of products on the market aimed at just this, but let’s start with what you can add to your diet and lifestyle to improve your condition.  This will obviously differ from one person to the next so choose the ideas you can include in your life, don’t focus on the ones you can’t.
 
Anti-inflammatory
Foods
  • Oily fish – salmon/tuna/mackerel/sardines
  • Leafy greens – spinach/kale/endive/rocket
  • Saturated oils – olive oil/rapeseed/coconut/avocado/walnut
  • Nuts & seeds
  • Vegetables
  • Berries
  • Cruciferous vegetables– broccoli/cauliflower/brussels sprouts
  • Mushrooms – chaga/oyster/lions mane/turkeytail/shitake/reishi
  • Peppers 
  • Avocadoes
  • Cacao – dark chocolate
  • Cherries
  • Grapes
  • Pineapple
  • Turmeric/ginger/garlic
 
Lifestyle
  • Gentle exercise – Yoga/Pilates/swimming/tai chi
  • Stress relievers – meditation/walk in nature/visit the sea/holiday/write/draw/breathework/counselling
  • Sleep – try to go to bed before 10pm and sleep
  • Loose weight (if you have weight to loose)
 
Supplements
  • Turmeric
  • Ginger
  • Medicinal mushrooms
  • CBD
  • Probiotics
  • Omega 3
  • Resveratrol
  • Green powders – spirulina/chlorella/wheatgrass
  • Vitamins C & D
  • Bromelain
  • Botanical spoonful – in health shops
N.B. do not take all the supplements together.  Purchase the supplements that best suit your condition and be aware of interactions with medication you might be taking.
 
The main thing here is to make changes, at your pace, to meet your needs.  If you have not been having success on your own I would advise making an appointment with a good therapist you trust.  As I always say, we are all individual and what works for one may not work for everyone, natural medicine is all about finding the root cause and treating the person individually. 
 
Watch out next week for my anti-inflammatory recipe!
